Frankybabes Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I have Just installed nullDC Dreamcast emulator, and its working fine BUT!! when I select a game from the list at the bottom left it just goes to the emulator and doesn`t load the game I choose, as it does on other emulators eg: SNES,Future Pinball,Mame.etc is it something I have set up wrong?It will load the game by selecting play from the top left menu and pointing to the folder & then selecting the rom. as you would on a PC,but that is defeating the whole concept of GameEx.I have set up the emulator in game wizard to point to the correct folder and done a verify and I said earlier it shows the games but does not play them. ut that is defeating the whole concept of GameEx isn`t it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adultery Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I think there's a trick to this but I'll be damned if I can remember what it is... it had something to do with the nullDC config file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snarls Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 My Dreamcast setup works - but I set it up a long time ago, so I cant recall if there were any tricks - though this is my .ini exported in case it helps you:[Emulator_17]Enabled=TrueSTARTPAGENAME=02.

nullPointer Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 As Adultery mentioned, I believe the trick actually involves the nullDC.cfg file found in the same directory as your nullDC executable. I believe you'll want to ensure that your nullDC.cfg file contains the following settings (they probably won't be right next to each other like I'm showing here):Emulator.AutoStart=1...LoadDefaultImage=1These settings will work in conjunction with the ImageReader:DefaultImage="[ROMPATH]\[ROMFILE]" parameter of your command line, which will set the loaded image as the default image and will forgo the need to select an image from the menu (i.e. the game will be launched directly via the command line) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snarls Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Here's my working nulldc.cfg in case it helps.Mine dont have what you mentioned, nullPointer, though I dont have this problem...?EDIT: Duh, check my commandline in my previous post above it says what nullpointer said:Command=nullDC_Win32_Release-NoTrace.exe -config nullDC:Emulator.Autostart=1 -config ImageReader:LoadDefaultImage=1 -config ImageReader:DefaultImage="[ROMPATH]\[ROMFILE]"so this commandline will override what is in your nulldc.cfg file...;;
